I've been thinking about whether or not people really do have the right to their opinions. This is the argument that I've came up with.

Premises

1) Rights entail duties (rights are defined by the very duties they give rise to).

2) We have no real duties toward others' opinions.

Conclusion

3) There is no right to opinions.

Plausible Duties

1) Obligated to agree with others' opinions (creates ridiculous situations)

2) Obligated to listen to the opinions of others (no time to do so)

3) Obligated to let others keep their opinions (destroys the pursuit of truth; duties to change false opinions)

Thoughts? What have I missed?

What is the reason behind the low areas right in front of the Alps, Iraq, and the Himalayas? Could it be related to the type of plate boundary occurring there, and if so, how?

On my geology test and my guess was due to the convergent boundary the land around them has subducted slightly. I don't think that's it though. I can't find the answer in the book or online. I'm looking for a simple answer for a second/first year geology student.

Thank You

Could an argument be made that the mountain chain is continuous from the Alps to the

Himalayas? On what basis?

This was on my geology test and I still can't find an answer that I fully understand online or in my book.
